An essential amino acid is a substance that the body cannot synthesize on its own, so it must be obtained from the diet. Because each has its own physiology, the list of essential amino acids is different for humans than it is for other organisms. This picture show all the types of existing amino acids:
Further we will present a list of products that can compensate the lack of essential amino acids in human body:
Beans: Contain valine, tryptophan, phenylalanine. Is also rich in in histidine, leucine, threonine, methionine.
White meat (chicken breast). Contains BCAA (isoleucine, valine, leucine), lysine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, histidine.
Dairy products (cottage cheese, cheese, low-fat milk, etc.). Sources of essential amino acids: lysine, tryptophan, arginine, phenylalanine, valine.
Eggs. Foods rich in BCAA, phenylalanine and methionine. Well-absorbed by the body, providing an integrated protein supply of the body.
Fish. Contains high concentrations of essential amino acids. In particular, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine and other compounds.
Cereals (rice, buckwheat, etc.). Sources of valine, isoleucine, leucine, histidine.
Seeds and nuts. Foods rich in threonine, histidine, isoleucine, arginine, lysine and other amino acids. Contains a full complex protein compounds of plant origin.
